I’m actually reworking our staff web in Drupal too! We’re moving to a Drupal based site to meet the needs of our patrons. Using Drupal for the intranet helps staff feel comfortable with a Drupal based site. I want staff to be able to help patrons who have questions with the new site. It will also make information easier to find and allow for conversations and information sharing, make for better happier staff which helps with all aspects of customer service.
So to me at least it is about helping customers. It sounds like your project is too.

Bobbi -sounds good, but it’s really hard to do I think. We ended up deciding that I should work on a Drupal intranet with a view to trying Drupal for our website once we have skills in-house. It’s very hard to phrase that as meeting a user need – except that by having a dynamic website that changes a lot users feel more engaged and familiar with our resources??? I wonder whether I am being romantic about asking the question – I suspect not, but that it takes a real mind-shift to look at things in that way….

Mike – *blush* . Thank you. Sometimes I think I am pep-talking myself with these posts…

What an extraordinary list, that all librarians and information professionals–as well as business people–should be cognizant of. Thanks for compiling this list and for sharing it.

Your posts always make me think more about librarianship (specifically about how I can better help any potential information seeker) and about my personal “librarianness,” and you encourage me to work to be the best librarian that I can be!

Keep up the great posts!
